The messaging app WhatsApp has implemented this Monday the function that allows edit postsa novelty for which it grants 15 minutes from its submission to make the changes that the user deems appropriate.
Editing messages is one of the most demanded features by users of this Meta service. The company has been working on it for some time, as seen in the different beta versions of the application, and this Monday it began to be deployed globally.
Specifically, as the technology company explains, users will find the option to ‘Edit’ in the options menu that appears when a sent message is pressed. Then, the user is available up to 15 minutes from sending to correct “from simple misspellings to adding additional context to a message.”
Messages that have received changes will show the status of ‘labelled’. This will be visible to the recipients, but they will not be able to access the history of changes, as the company clarifies in its official blog.
Likewise, from Meta they have ensured that the edited messages, as well as all personal messages, multimedia files and calls, are protected with end-to-end encryption.
